I was driving the motor-car. The curtains were drawn. Loeb, who was in the rear seat, opened the door and called to young Franks, Come here, Robert, we will ride you home."
Thanks," replied Robert, "it's only a short distance. I'll walk." "Come here, anyway," said Leob. I want to tell you about a new tennis racquet."
Franks then hopped on to the running board, got in, and the next moment Loeb hit him on the head with a 'chisel and drew a bandage round his neck, strangling him.
Leob, on the other hand, insists hat he was driving the motor car, and that the actual murder was done by Leopold. Both are now expressing the belief that with the millions at the command of their parents it will be easily possible to escape the capital penalty.
"This experience ought to make man of me," says Loeb, "Society demands payment. Well, I will go to jail for two years, and then I'll come out and make a real career. After all, we only did it for excitement."
